Many know the movie "The Sound of Music" and have watched it at least once. I love this movie. Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer play Maria and Captain Von Trapp who fall in love, get married, and escape from Austria. That's not entirely true.
Yes they did fall in love but the story is more romanticized than what actually happened.
It is true that Maria was practicing to be a nun and was sent to take care of Von Trapp's children. Only Maria was only supposed to care for one of the children, the oldest who was also named Maria as she was recovering from Scarlet Fever. And the family left Austria 11 years before the Nazi takeover, they didn't escape.
Now there's always more to a story but I wont spoil it for you.
I remember watching The Sound of Music before I could talk. I knew when the movie was on just by hearing the music. This started my love of musicals and musical theatre. I could tell you every word of The Sound of Music. When I was 4, I watched it 3 times in one day while my sisters were at school.
Listening to Julie Andrews sing was my favorite thing about the movie. Christopher Plummer's rendition of Edelweiss would make anyone want to sing along. Edelweiss is probably my favorite song because of him singing it.
To conclude, The Sound of Music is a good movie that any little kid could understand and enjoy. It's a timeless classic musical everyone can enjoy.
